I have not played the new pokemon so I might be lacking a frame of reference but the animation is really good here! Nice job.

@Any_ILL from what I've been hearing it's not worth the money. Everyone I know that isn't a diehard pokemon fan has either dropped the game out of boredom or in some cases just violently hates it.

Now all we need is the haggis.

@Shaekexpert12 Real talk, I wouldn't blame them. The amount of content and unpolished aspects of the game aren't exactly worth a AAA price tag. You can probably get equal or more stuff out of Ultra Sun and Moon, which directly predates Sword and Shield.

i wouldn't say that yes gamefreak did cut some corners but the game is honestly fun.As some who beat the game in 70 hours said the game is short if you make it short. This game unlike most let you skip a lot so unlike USUM witch has hours of tutorial this one stops you a lot but its a quick this is next section or rival battle. Also this game doesn't have a evil team that they focus on but one person with a goal(which isn't really evil) some people that help them and some clowns.You can see they focus mainly on the pokemon,battle mechanics, and max raid battles which i'm not mad at. Yes the story is so so(not like i hate it) but the lore and setting I like.Don't really feel like typing no more so.Hopefully they go back to the old formula of the first two games being like test run and they improve it with the third and final game.I give them a pass because they are working with new system that they need to get use to and i know what they can do when they get it together.

I played it and beat the main story and I thought it was fun, very condensed, but fun. I wish raids weren't so reliant on it being multiplayer, I mean it's not, but also it kinda is since the npc's you're given really suck.
I felt this game was more challenging. That may be because I'm a stupid pokemon casual, but some fights I felt I was almost gonna have to start over if I didn't have an item bag full of health items, it really saved my booty a lot.
I did end up really liking some of the characters though, despite it's shortness, but that's what the anime is for I guess, fleshing out these characters more over a longer period.
I wish they didn't do the wild areas because it's just very laggy and raids are annoying, but the main story and the towns are awesome and the gym leaders are cool.
it felt like any other pokemon game, to be honest.
the national dex thing didn't bother me because I never did that in any pokemon game anyways, also I wanted to use to new pokemon anyway because why play the new game if you're not gonna try the new pokemon in the new region.
It's fine for poke casuals like myself, but if you're a hardcore poke boomer, then you probably didn't like any of the new games past the DS anyways so don't even bother with this one either.
GloriaXMarnie is best! Raihan best gym leader!

I've been a pokemon for the last 20+ years and I loved it the wild area is laggy and all but it new to pokemon so I understand why it's not perfect. And nessa was the biggest problem for me she made me really think about what I was going to do.

I've played since Red and Blue. I would rate the game probably 7/10 overall. The set up to the story was actually enjoyable but towards the end it felt rushed. The after game event also felt kind of off compared to everything else and I wish they did more to fluff it out. I would recommend waiting for it to go down in price before buying it. BUT BACK TO THESE TWO! There is so much subtext it's just like "You guys are a bunch of damn teases!"
